Greetings Bible Scholars and welcome to the Pastor Mike Drop podcast. I'm your host, Mike, and I'm joined by my co-host Emily.

Hello.

How are you?

Great. How are you?

Excellent. We've been having so much fun in the 10 minutes leading up to this podcast that it's hard not to keep continue laughing.

But welcome. Pull up a chair, you know, symbolically here in our table.

Open up your Bibles. We're reading through Romans 8 through 12, and it doesn't get any deeper than

this. And we have a great panel with this today. Emily? Yep, lead campus pastor at Hope Ames,

Danny, hi, Danny. Hey. You got a shout out last week.

I did.

Five-year-old version of you.

I did tell that story.

And I will say I very specifically remember that story because I very specifically remember you talking about sin in a sermon.

And it was pretty close to around that time when I was sitting in the front row

and I began to cry so badly because I'd torn a page in the Bible. You stopped the sermon

and you looked at mom and you said, is everything okay? And then she just said, he feels terrible.

He tore a page in the Bible. And then you went into talking about how it's not us who are making

mistakes. It's the sin inside of us.

And so I held on to that.

I've forgotten all that part of it.

I just remember when I was trying to get you to go to bed one night.

You said, Dad, it's not me.
